Use the fptest command to test the floating-point unit of the Alpha processor
specified in the command. If no processor is identified, tests are run on the
system primary CPU.
The program contains 9 tests:
T1 - Compute Pi in IEEE Mode
T2 - Compute Pi in VAX D
T3 - Compute Pi in VAX F
T4 - Compute Pi in VAX G
T5 - Do 11 Floating Pt Math Instructions (+,-,*,/) in IEEE Double
T6 - Do 11 Floating Pt Math Instructions (+,-,*,/) in IEEE Single
T7 - Do 11 Floating Pt Math Instructions (+,-,*,/) in VAXD Double
T8 - Do 11 Floating Pt Math Instructions (+,-,*,/) in VAXF Single
T9 - Do 11 Floating Pt Math Instructions (+,-,*,/) in VAXG Double
The show_status command does not display fptest progress. Use the ps
command to see the process, if the test is run in the background.
Syntax
fptest [-t <test number>] [-p <pass count>] [&p <cpu number>]
where: -t = a particular test in the suite of floating-point tests
-p = the number of passes the test will make (default is 1)
&p = the ID number of the CPU to test
